Hmm...

I'm assuming LTS? I remember that Steam on 16.04 LTS has a strange issue with it.

Should i uninstall steam that I have now? or is that code that I should put it with it already installed?

try to open steam on the terminal, and see what error is giving to you.

Here are the commands you need to install steam

 

sudo apt-get update

 

Then

 

sudo apt-get install steam

 

Doing it from the software app always fails
